Everybody knows about John Travolta being a enthusiastic pilot who owns a B707 and others. But what about the rich and famous around the world, what kind of an airplane do they own? And, do you know if they flight themselves?

I came up with a short list. Help me out with this one to get it larger.

And on a side note, the heads of state you listed don't own those aircraft, except maybe the Sultan of Brunei. Their respective nations own them and whoever happens to be the head of state at any given time has use of them.

I know Arnold Palmer owns and flies his own plane, but have no idea what make and model.
Speaking of golfers, Greg Norman also owns several aircraft and flies them. At least one is a helicopter which he lands on his yacht's helipad.

Quoting LXA340 (Reply 41):What is the range of Michael Schumacher's jet, can it make normal long hauls that are 12+ hours long just as with a A340 or B744? Also any ideas on the interior of this plane, does it have beds etc?

Quoting CitationJet (Reply 45):GlobeEx was just signing his member name. He was not indicating that the photo was of a Global Express.....

Indeed,..... was actually supposed to be beneath the picture as well....
I do know the difference very well, not only have I been in a couple of each.... and as my comment indicates,.... in this one as well.
Sorry for the irriation anyways.

We use a paid for subscription service that updates daily the contact information for every private aircraft in the world and that is an impressive list. However, it is important to note, that private jets are also owned by many people and companies that earned the aircraft through hard work and dedication. It is extremely expensive to operate these aircraft let alone the publicity some want and some do not with these types of planes.

Jimmy Buffett also has a Caravan on floats. I believe the tail number is N208JB. Don't quote me on that though. I think he either sold or parked the Albatross.

Jack Roush also has 4 727's based at CLT. Three -100s, and a -200. At least one of the -100's is a parts bird, and another may have become the same recently. I haven't seen it move in quite a while.

Rusty Wallace has a Lear 31, Mark Martin has a Citation.

Jim Head (NHRA nitro funny car) has a Cessna 441, as well as a Pitts or something along those lines. He also does airshow flying from what I understand. Don Prudhomme has or had a Lear 25. Connie Kalitta flies to the races in a Falcon 20.

The creator of the Beanie Babies has a BBJ. N888TY. Very colorful airplane.
